Perez Family: Ernestine Cardenas (Middle), Jessica D'Anza

Personal Characteristics And Attributes Of Academically Successful At-Risk Hispanic High School Students, Juan Manuel Anaya
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Research on the Hispanic students' educational experience has mainly focused on their lack of academic success and those factors that contributed to their shortcomings. With the United States' Hispanic population surpassing that of African Americans, it compounds the problem of the already extremely high Hispanic high school dropout rate. A paradigm shift began in 1988 with a study by Buriel and Cardoza, which examined the relationships of Mexican-American high school seniors' academic success in relation to the students' academic ambitions, the mothers' aspirations, Spanish language background, and socioeconomic factors. This study shifted the focus away from exploring why students failed, …

A Middle School Strives To Achieve Team Leadership Through Opposition And Uncertainty, Kathleen J. Martin, Janet H. Chrispeels
Ethnic Studies
"Learning to Lead Together: The Promise and Challenge of Sharing Leadership" examines the dilemmas for school leaders and administrators, and the benefits for schools and students, when principals work with teachers (and their communities) to share leadership. Most schools function within existing hierarchical structures that contradict and undermine many of the conditions necessary for shared leadership. Current school reform initiatives and policies urge or require that teachers be actively involved in decision-making without addressing systemic dilemmas and paradoxes. Through real-life single and multiple case studies, "Learning to Lead Together" addresses how principals and their staffs struggle with the challenge of …
